This project is a basic networked game.
Download the repository, and run Server.py
For the most simple manner of connecting to the server, use netcat, ncat or related tools.
By default, the server runs on port 12345.
To connect, use nc [local ip] 12345
Once you are connected, a few options are available. Note that you must always send '*' at the end of your command, as that lets the server know that no more input is coming.
Use G*
On your turn, use P[0-3][0-3][0-3][1-3]*
The first three parameters represent the location on the board.
The final parameter represents your player number.
You may use C* to wipe the board and start over.
To win the game, match 4 of your tokens in any way, including diagonals. Think of the board as a 4x4 cube--you can match tokens across the board in any direction.
